06 Warnings
WEEE
This appliance is labelled in accordance with European Directive 2002/96/EG concerning
used electrical and electronic appliances (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment
- WEEE). The guideline determines the framework for the return and recycling of used
appliances.
Sound levels
Your hearing is very important to you and to us, so please take care when using this Soundbar. It is
strongly recommended that you follow the listed guidelines in order to prevent possible damage or loss of
hearing.
Establish a safe sound level
Over time your hearing will adapt to continuous loud sounds and will give the impression that the volume
has in fact been reduced. What seems normal to you may in fact be harmful. To guard against this before
your hearing adapts, set the volume to a low level.
Slowly increase the level until you can hear comfortably and clearly and without distortion. Damage to your
hearing is accumulative and is irreversible. Any ringing or discomfort in the ears indicates that the volume
is too loud.
Once you have established a comfortable listening level, do not increase the sound level.
